"Am i handsome?"
"Average."
"Does social skills attract people?"
"Well, i do."
"So what is it about me that attracts you, Arianna?" Klein asked earnestly, hoping to get a clear answer as his mind is in a bit of a wreck, unsure of what to make out of the whole situation.
"I guess... Its just you, Klein Moretti." Arianna pointed at Klein with her index finger as they walked through the park, bearing an honest smile on her face.
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"You know, you're kinda... i don't know how to exactly explain it, but... It's just you." even Arianna herself don't know how to respond when asked a question.
"Ohh... I see."
—
As Klein and Arianna went on with their walk, skipping working hours, from somewhere far away, a blonde haired woman was seen eyeing them with a tinge of crazed in her blue eyes.
"Damn that woman! Arianna! I was supposed to take Sherlock's feelings first before giving him the characteristics, that was the deal! So what the hell are you doing!" furious, she transformed her arms into its wolf state and started thrashing around the place, leaving large claw marks and holes all around the place.
—
"Do you remember the first time you joined the company?" Arianna asked Klein.
"Umm, sorry, my memories are all fuzzy right now, i can't remember that far back anymore." The effects of missing characteristics, his life on the verge of collapse, the subtle feeling that something was missing in his life are all packed into that one sentence.
"I see, because you see, there was never a recruitment, this whole dimension was created as you were already a part of it." Arianna crossed her fingers.
"What's that?" memories suddenly flooded back inside Klein's head, like an enormous wave overfilling a tank too small for its size.
Klein was feeling lethargic and extremely pain took over his body.
"Forget it." but with a swipe of Arianna's hands, the memories were all washed away. Gone, via concealment.
...
"So, are we dating right now?" Arianna asked once more as the two of them came to a halt at a particular place.
The duo were found standing together on the park's lake, along with the random people all around, from children playing, families having picnic, couples taking pictures, Arianna and Klein were sitting by the pond, hugging their knees and watching their reflection on the water.
"Ummm..."
"Still unsure? Even i could lose my patience, Klein."
The moment Klein heard that sentence from Arianna, he suddenly, felt a bit of child behind his back, scared to the bone, he never thought he would feel something like this from someone he admired, that one scared him.
"Wai- wait- I don't mean it like that, I didn't mean to offend you like that!" Klein panicked, and tried to clarify things.
Imagine getting rejected, it hurts, no, its fucking heartbreaking.
Some people might last out, but there are others like Arianna who's better than that.
"Fufu, don't worry, im not like others taking rejection to the extreme." Arianna then calmly expressed her side.
"If you want, i can actually hook you up with Sharron if you want since you clearly don't want my attention, i guess that's just how lonely i am and will always be." Arianna stood up from her knees, and faced Klein away.
Klein saw the side of her face and saw a drop of tear sliding down.
This causes him to panicked even more.
Making a girl feel sad, now that's a low blow, Klein Moretti.
"No, no, Arianna, please, hear me out first, please, listen to me first of all!" Klein stood up next with speed, his voice lost in composure.
Klein realizing how he's reacting, he then immediately tried to calm himself down by sighing, then opening his mouth after.
"Arianna, i never said anything about rejecting you, yet."
""Yet?" So you will reject me?"
"No, never."
"So what is it?"
"I do, i wanted to be your boyfriend so bad."
"Is that the truth?"
"Yes, but i just really think we should slow down on things first, what if you ended up being dissapointed in me, and you just wasted your time with a lousy loser like me?"
Klein felt bad for himself, but he felt even worse if someone like Arianna spent her time with him, imagine the dissapointment.
"Is your confidence really that low?" Arianna peeked a bit over her shoulder, looking at Klein from behind with one eye.
"...Yes." it took a while for him to say it, but he got the courage to berate himself eventually.
"What about Sharron, then...?"
"... yes, i do also do like her... but seeing that we've been friends for a long time, i just think it would never work that way, i just can't bear with it."
Sigh
"Klein, do you understand the problem with you?" Arianna's tone of voice changed after her sigh.
"You got a certain appeal that i find very interesting, i love you for it, but this time, isn't that a bit too extreme? I always knew you were weak towards woman, but you were capable of loving me, i was hoping for marriage eventually back then if none of this happened, but this weak, i always wanted to know who took your virginity before we could elope ourselves, Sharron, maybe, or some other woman you're associated with?
"Eh? But im still a virgin, what are you talking about?" Klein was monetarily lost in the moment for what Arianna seemed started talking nonsense, but those were suddenly washed away after Arianna swiped her hand again.
"Never mind, but..." Arianna knew things are just taking way too long, she couldn't bear with it anymore, she needs to do something, she needs to do something, and in that very moment.
...
"WHAT?!!!" Sharron screamed from the top of her lungs before her eyes was reflected the image of Arianna putting her lips on Klein's.
...
Chu Chu Chu
Klein's felt extreme heat all over, swirling around his body, as he felt weak on his knees, arms are heavy.
He couldn't believe what is happening right now.
Arianna is kissing her, no, she's even putting her tongue inside of him.
Wait, did she get taller, why does it feel like she's much bigger all of a sudden?
